EXPRESSIVE MEANS The expressive means of a language

EXPRESSIVE MEANS The expressive means of a language are those phonetic, morphological, word building, lexical, phraseological and syntactical forms which exist in language as a system for the purpose of logical and emotional intensification of the utterance. For example: “Well it will only add fuel to the fire”. (lexical level)

STYLISTICS DEVICES SD is a conscious and intentional intensification of some typical structural and semantic property of a language unit (neutral or expressive) promoted to a generalized status and thus becoming a generative model. For example: “The night has swallowed him up”. (contextual)
